Without watching a single game The only real difference is Hayward is there Does he not fit and throw things off well so there are three phases to the celtics' season so far the first phase was the one that's most troubling, because it seemed like celtics players were this awful combination of overly unselfish and overly selfish. gordon hayward isn't a matter of "not fitting in" but rather just not being very good at the time. the skills the celtics have on the perimeter are almost all in passing and shooting, not in physically driving and making buckets (other than jaylen brown, who wasn't converting layups). hayward would drive from the 3p line to just outside the paint and kick it out EVERY TIME to the perimeter. people would look unconfident, be pump-faking 3s, stepback 3s, outside shots, the like - marcus morris was one of the only guys would could consistently take it inside to do damage. the second phase, the 8-game win-streak celtics, brought smart and morris into the lineup. it feels a little like fool's gold to me since jaylen brown is a guy who's going to become VERY upset on the bench, and morris is not part of our future. but morris solved our overpassing issue as well as our offensive paint problem, while smart added a ton of hustle to the starting unit. the latest losing streak was more a result of losing baynes and horford - hard to win even with a stacked perimeter if you literally have ZERO frontcourt talent. horford and marcus morris returned tonight and we were fine. --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:914622503] in NBA Discus...
